    This recipe was very easy, and the whole family loved it! No leftovers, and that's unusual, because it made enough for a family of 5. Will use it again...for sure!

    For a great variation, add scallops when you add the shrimp! Delicious!

    what kind of heavy cream?

    @Anonymous, you may use whipping cream or heavy cream (it's labeled "heavy cream" in the dairy case). If you want a lighter version, you could use half and half (which is half milk and half cream). If you use half and half I would increase the amount to 2 1/2 cups and reduce it over medium heat until you have about 2 cups of cream then proceed with the recipe.

    Fabulous and easy! I will definitely make this again. I added broccoli to the pasta water for the last 2 minutes. Also used half and half and it thickened just fine.

    Super easy! And very tasty. I think I'll try a previous suggestion of adding scallops. Hubby likes his pasta EXTRA saucy, so I may make extra sauce for leftovers.

    I usually make these types of sauces starting with a roe and never use cream... I actually cannot get cream where I am living is it possible to use 100% milk (maybe with cornflour to thicken)? or coconut cream, or condensed milk? cheers

    I use whole milk and a teaspoon of cornstarch to thicken. Also, adding steamed broccoli or carrots (or both) is a must to make this a healthier, lower calorie, one-dish meal.

    Hi Anonymous! Yes you could certainly use whole milk, half and half, or evaporated milk as a substitute for the cream in this recipe. Like you stated, you will want to make a roux to help thicken a sauce made with milk, or stir in some cornstarch mixed with a little water (called a slurry) as Anonymous no. 2 suggests. For more information about using a roux to thicken a sauce or soup check out the following discussions: (http://www.foodonthetable.com/discussion/850-gluten-free-roux-question) AND (http://www.foodonthetable.com/discussions/471-does-a-roux-always-start-with-butter-and-flour)

    Cayenne pepper! ?

    @Chevy- Traditional Fettuccine Alfredo tends to be a milder dish, however, as Anonymous suggested you could add some cayenne pepper, or I like to add some crushed red pepper flakes. Also, make sure and season with salt and black pepper. Or here are a few other 'nontraditional' fettuccine alfredo recipes from the Food on the Table website you might want to try: Cajun Seafood Pasta: (http://www.foodonthetable.com/recipes/9382-cajun-seafood-pasta) and Spinach Fettuccine with Scallops: (http://www.foodonthetable.com/recipes/5920-spinach-fettuccine-with-scallops)
